You will struggle some on modern games, but 3-4 years prior will be perfectly fine. New games are often using more than 4GB RAM and the processor might bottleneck a bit. Most importantly, the integrated graphics card will bottleneck in modern games. That graphics card is less powerful than the Intel HD 4000 graphics cards in Intel processors, so yes you will not be able to play very recent games.

Play games 3-4 years and back to be fine. :)

Hmm... Have you considered building a computer? I can design a build for exactly $370 that may fit your needs. But that also depends on if you would need to purchase an OS. Or, if you are alright with playing games a few years back, buy the one you chose! I do not intend in anyway to demote your possible purchase.

Yes, looking at the images of the computer it seems it would support an independent graphics card, though I am unfortunately having a very hard time hunting down the exact motherboard it has. So don't quote me 100% on that. And as tinyvoices said, the CPU will probably bottleneck some.

Would you be comfortable with putting together a computer yourself?

S Money, I put this together that would be more powerful than the one you are thinking of buying and will be able to play all the games you want on 30-40FPS low settings:

If you need to buy an operating system, I could modify that to fit your prices. Also, it has future room for a GPU. The processing power is also much better than the other computer's, and the graphics are about 1.5X better than the other AMD graphics. The case includes two fans, too, which will be fine for gaming on this build.

Change the CPU to a Pentium and then use the saved money to get a low end GPU like a gtx650 or something. This will be WAY better.

That's probably a good idea, for the moment I was thinking integrated graphics since the Pentium's are worse but you are right, great idea.
